8.4.0-beta.1​

Released: May 5, 2026

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Added dotRadius property to BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay to allow customizing the size of dots when using the Dot overlay style.

Id​

  • Added support for reading the vehicle table on the back of New Zealand driving licences, with the latest expiry date returned; supported vehicle classes are 1–6, including L=learner and R=restricted variants.
  • Added support for new versions of USA, California – Driver's License; USA, North Carolina – Driver's License; and USA, Texas – Driver's License.

Core​

  • Redesigned ZoomSwitchControl to support multiple configurable zoom levels; the control now displays as a compact button that expands to show all available zoom levels, automatically filtered to those supported by the device hardware.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved Code 128 scan robustness for codes with uneven blur and geometric distortions. Available on all platforms except WebAssembly without SIMD and ARM without FP16.
  • Improved 1D barcode scanning speed and reduced false positives for linear symbologies.
  • Further improved scanning of square DataMatrix codes with damaged or occluded timing patterns.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention now continuously adapts between Single Scan and Selection modes during a scanning session when Smart Scan Selection is enabled, switching back to Single Scan when the scene no longer requires Selection mode. Previously, once Selection mode was activated it remained active for the rest of the session.
  • Changed ITF scanning to reduce false positives by introducing checksum-dependent scoring. ITF has an optional checksum which is mandated to be enabled by many of the standards that use ITF as the data carrier. Starting with this release, checksum-passing ITF codes are scanned with more relaxed conditions than codes that don't pass the checksum test. This happens even if the optional mod 10 checksum isn't enabled. To disable this behavior, enable the no_checksum_dependent_validation symbology extension for the ITF symbology.
  • Removed the Abseil library dependency.
  • Reduced Code 39 false positives.

Core​

  • Updated mbedtls from version 3.6.5 to 3.6.6.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed an unnecessary second scan callback that occurs after freezing barcode recognition.
  • Fixed PDF417 macro block file ID decoding to correctly handle numeric formatting according to the ISO/IEC 15438:2015 specification.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when scanning barcodes with the k-out-of-n filter enabled, if some detected barcodes were not subject to filtering.

Id​

  • Fixed an issue where the US Permanent Residence Card was not processed through the VizMrz flow.

Smart Label Capture​

  • Fixed a bug where the label capture validation flow overlay sometimes did not reflect label capture settings when reused.
  • Fixed a bug that caused error messages in DataCaptureView to be rendered partially out-of-view.
  • Fixed a rare race condition in Label Capture.
  • Added .asDate() support to ExpiryDate and PackingDate label fields when the text is provided as manual input or as an Adaptive-Recognition-Engine response.

Core​

  • Fixed a crash that occurred when the DataCaptureContext singleton was initialized more than once.
  • Fixed a rare SIGABRT crash on camera initialization on devices whose HAL returns null from Camera.Parameters.getSupportedFocusModes() (e.g. industrial barcode scanners like the Newland NLS-MT93).
  • Fixed a potential deadlock on iOS when reading the camera torch state from the main thread while the camera was starting up.

  • Fixed a rare SIGABRT crash on camera initialization on devices whose HAL returns null from Camera.Parameters.getSupportedFocusModes() (e.g. industrial barcode scanners like the Newland NLS-MT93).
  • Fixed crashes caused by RuntimeExceptions thrown by OEM camera code that are not part of the standard Android Camera API contract; these exceptions are now caught and logged instead of crashing.

8.0.0​

Released: November 4, 2025

New Features​

Scandit's SDK 8.0 marks the evolution of data capture from a high-performing scanning tool into an intelligent AI-powered workflow enabler. As frontline operations face mounting pressures with more data points to capture, increasingly complex workflows to navigate, and tighter resource constraints, SDK 8.0 delivers a set of innovations that:

  • Adapt its scanning settings and UI to context by analyzing the scanning environment and user intent;
  • Automate the capture of any data format, barcode clustering, task handling or camera settings;
  • Accelerate critical use cases to maximize ROI through intuitive, streamlined scanning workflows, using interactive AR-guidance, adaptive UI and out-of-the-box custom-branded passenger experiences.

With SDK 8.0 businesses can transform data capture from a basic function to a strategic advantage. It enables intelligent scanning that:

  • Understands not just what is being scanned, but also what you want to scan and why you’re scanning it
  • Adapts accordingly by adjusting scanning settings and/or UI, understanding what comes next and how to guide users seamlessly through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

Core​

  • Upgraded minimum Titanium SDK to 12.7.0.GA and build modules with Titanium 13.0.0.GA to enable 16 KB page size support.

Barcode​

  • Updated the Gradle version for all sample applications to 8.14.3.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Symbology RM4SCC has been renamed to ROYAL_MAIL_4STATE.
  • Changed the default highlight brush in Barcode Capture.
